Aldo

G                       D7
Lived in a city, no one knew he was 
there
    G                   C      Cm
The little old man with silver hair
         Bm                    E
And he's listened to Beethoven every
 day
        Am                   D    
No, the little old man never came 
       D7
out to play
       G                     
He was sweet and quiet with a 
 D7
thoughtful mind
G                     C           
Didn't know how to be cruel, only 
Cm
kind
         Bm                        
Now he's up in the heavens doesn't 
E7
care for his money
Am                      D7
Checking everyone still loves 
everybody
G                           
Born in the mountains, one of 
  D7
nature's wild
    G                          C  
His mother walked out, she was 
    Cm
only a child
          Bm                      
So he was sent to the state to be 
E7
loved by another
        Am                    D7
But the little young boy just wanted
 his mother

[Bridge ]
    G                   D
She never admitted that he was her 
son
   G                       C      
So he spent 60 years saying he had
    Cm
 no one

         G                         
And told all of those around him a 
Em
multitude of things
Am                               
Did not get too close, scared of 
D
what the future brings
G                     Bm
Aldo, we love you and miss you every
 day
     Am                        
Your spirit still lives on, the 
    Bm
violins are on replay
      G                          
We've played your favourite songs 
      Bm
very often on repeat
    Am                             
I'm sorry it took so long to write 
      B
these words down on a sheet

[Verse 2]
  G                       D7
I met him when I had just turned 
around ten
   G                              
We had similar birthdays, we were 
C       Cm
friends from then
       Bm                E7
He had boxes of crackers piled 
against the wall
    Am                           
And bottles of champagne that he 
D7
saved for us all
   G                               
He lived 'round the corner from my 
D7
secondary school
       G                        C 
And he had no family, so it was us
         Cm
 that he saw
        Bm7                        
And the young girl from Tesco who 
  E7
he would always amuse,
Am                             Cm
Would not stop crying when she heard
 the sad news

[Instrumental]
G         Gmaj7    Am       B
G         Gmaj7    Am       B

[Vocalising]
G         B        Am       B
G         B        Am       B

[Verse 3]
G                Gmaj7
Aldo passed away aged 84
   Am                              
We found ourselves with him and it 
    B7
was us he adored
        G                          
And his mother who walked out 
  Gmaj7
around 80 years ago
       Am                          
Turned out to live in a house just 
B
down the road
   G                         D7
It sounds like a far fetched story 
from a film
    G                              
But this was Aldo's life it really 
C           Cm
happened to him
          Bm7                      
And we've played his favourite 
       E7
songs very often on repeat
        Am                      
And I'm sorry it took so long to 
             Cm
write these... words down on a sheet
